MARTIAL PEAK 4562

“Can you see if there’s anything in the black stone?” Luan Bai Feng stared at Yang Kai in shock.

The two of them had mined a hundred pieces of black stone over the past three days, most of which Yang Kai had casually tossed away after a single glance. In the end, they had only managed to obtain twenty-seven pieces, but all of them had been harvested with resources without exception.

This situation undoubtedly explained some things.

“Impossible!” Luan Bai Feng grabbed a piece of black stone that Yang Kai had thrown to the side. This piece of black stone was not big, only the size of a palm. Using the World Force, it quickly dissolved the black stone, but there is nothing inside.

“Can you really see the situation inside the black stone?” The truth was right in front of her, so Luan Bai Feng had no choice but to believe it, “What kind of eye technique is that?”

Yang Kai didn’t answer, only frowning.

Although he had obtained twenty-seven cultivation resources, the facts proved that Luan Bai Feng was right. The resources produced on this slightly deeper mineral star were indeed of a higher grade than those on the periphery. Out of the twenty-seven sets he had obtained, three were fifth grade.

Unfortunately, there is no sixth grade, let alone a sixth grade Yin-Yang attribute!

Luan Bai Feng, on the other hand, suddenly became excited, “If you can really see through the internal situation of the black stone, it will greatly save time and increase the efficiency of its output.”

Yang Kai slowly shook his head, “Too slow!”

Luan Bai Feng was surprised, “You think this is too slow? How fast do you want it to be?”

Yang Kai said, “The two of us have been busy here for three days, yet we only managed to obtain so little. It’s really meaningless.”

Luan Bai Feng frowned, “If you want a sixth grade Yin-Yang attribute resources, you naturally have to depend on your luck. Do you really think that this Mineral Star is filled with things you want?”

“I naturally didn’t think so,” Yang Kai frowned, “It’s just that this is somewhat different from what I expected.”

Luan Bai Feng pondered for a moment before pointing into the distance, “Perhaps you can go to a deeper mineral star to take a look. The one we’re standing on is the furthest place my mining slaves have ever gone. The deeper you go, the better the quality of the black stone produced by the mineral star.”

Yang Kai looked in the direction she was pointing and saw countless large and small mineral stars in the sky. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said, “There’s no need. The mining speed is too slow with just the two of us. I don’t know how long it will take me to collect what I need.”

“This won’t do, that won’t do either!” Luan Bai Feng suddenly became a bit angry, “Why don’t you go back and bring my mining slaves with you? With your Divine Ability protecting them, no matter how weak their cultivations are, they won’t die in a short period of time and will be of some use.”

Hearing this, Yang Kai shook his head. Luan Bai Feng’s proposal was even more unrealistic.

His Divine Ability could protect the two of them, or even a few dozen more, but it was impossible to protect all of the mining slaves, and the consumption was too great, making it difficult to maintain it for a long time. What’s more, it was impossible for him to stay here forever to protect these mining slaves.

He didn’t know what was happening in the Void Land, so he needed to return as soon as possible!

He already had ten people’s worth of resources on hand, and together with the three he originally had in the Void Land, he could now satisfy the needs of thirteen people to advance to the Sixth Order. Perhaps he could go back first and slowly wait for the Black Prison to extract more resources. Perhaps if he was lucky, he would be able to obtain more resources he needed.

However, this thought only lingered in his mind for a moment before Yang Kai rejected it.

Luan Bai Feng had also said that the resources she had secretly stored were all mined from the mineral star beneath their feet, so the chances of the mineral star outside producing a sixth grade materials were not high.

Letting out a sigh, Yang Kai felt that his thinking was too simple.

Just as he was about to return home, Yang Kai suddenly stopped and looked up into the sky.

Luan Bai Feng looked over suspiciously, observing Yang Kai’s expression. At first, Yang Kai’s brow furrowed, but soon after, his expression changed, as if he had remembered something and his spirits were greatly lifted.

“You…” Luan Bai Feng stared at him.

Yang Kai grinned, “That’s right, it’s too troublesome to bring the Mine Slaves here. I can’t stay here and protect them forever, but we can bring back the Mineral Star!”

Luan Bai Feng was shocked by his wild imagination and glared at him, “Bring back a mineral star?”

Yang Kai’s expression became excited, “The periphery of the Black Prison doesn’t have that kind of strange aura, at least not where you normally live. If we can bring the mineral star from the depth of the Black Prison, you can mine it without fear, and you won’t have to worry about your World Force constantly dissipating.”

“Are you crazy?” Luan Bai Feng looked at Yang Kai like he was an idiot, “Bring one back for me to see.”

“If we don’t try, how do we know it won’t work?” Yang Kai rubbed his fists as he continued to observe, “When we came here, I noticed that there are many big and small mineral stars in this Black Territory. Naturally, we can’t take the big one, but if we find a smaller one, we should be able to bring it back.”

“Are you joking with me?” Luan Bai Feng finally confirmed that Yang Kai was serious and was instantly dumbfounded.

“Who’s joking with you!” Yang Kai said as he used his World Force to wrap Luan Bai Feng up and fly deeper.

Since he had decided to bring back a mineral star, naturally the deeper he went, the better, because the deeper the mineral star was, the richer the resources it contained and the higher the grade.

Along the way, Luan Bai Feng’s expression became dull.

She still couldn’t quite follow Yang Kai’s train of thought. In the countless years she had spent in the Black Prison, she had never thought of bringing back the Mineral Star in the depths of the Black Prison to the periphery. It wasn’t that she didn’t dare to think about it, it was simply impossible.

Even though she is a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage master and possessed great strength, it was difficult for her to remain in this deep region for long. What’s more, mineral stars were usually incomparably huge, so who could take them away?

However, not only did Yang Kai think so, he was also prepared to do so!

Along the way, Yang Kai muttered to himself, “This one is too big, I don’t think I can take it with me, and this one is a bit too small. Even if I take it back, you won’t be able to mine for long, the gains won’t make up for the losses. How come there aren’t any medium-sized ones?”

Luan Bai Feng couldn’t help rolling her eyes in annoyance.

After flying into the depths of the Black Territory for an unknown period of time, Yang Kai still couldn’t find a suitable target. At a certain moment, a strange aura suddenly penetrated the Towering Evergreen’s defensive barrier and instantly wrapped around the two of them. Yang Kai and Luan Bai Feng both let out a muffled groan as they felt the World Force in their bodies leak out like a flood!

Luan Bai Feng’s expression changed drastically!

Yang Kai was also inexplicably shocked, quickly stopping and retreating a thousand kilometers!

The small universe's abnormality disappeared in an instant, and the aura that wrapped around the two of them also disappeared.

The two of them looked at each other with lingering fear before Luan Bai Feng asked, “What happened?”

Yang Kai slowly shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know either, but in that instant, about ten percent of his small universe's foundation had been lost.

Although he didn’t know how Luan Bai Feng was doing, the situation was probably worse because at this moment, this woman’s face was slightly pale and her aura was somewhat weak, obviously she had consumed a lot of energy.

“Your Divine Ability can’t resist the invasion of that aura?” Luan Bai Feng asked in surprise.

Yang Kai said solemnly, “If I can’t resist it, the World Force in our small universe should still be leaking.”

“But just now…” As Luan Bai Feng spoke, she felt a chill run down her spine. The feeling she felt just now was too terrifying, and under the influence of this aura, she couldn’t help feeling as if she couldn’t resist and was about to be drained of all her strength.

Yang Kai raised his eyes and stared into the distance, “There should be a limit. Once we cross that threshold, even my Divine Ability will find it difficult to guard against the power of this black territory!” Shaking his head, Yang Kai said, “We can’t go any further, this place is our limit. If we go any further, we’ll all die!”

He was secretly shocked. What was this strange aura in this Black Territory? Even the Eternal Tree’s Divine Ability Secret Technique couldn’t resist it. One had to know that his Towering Evergreen Secret Technique could even let him travel the Shadowless Astral Wind’s Divine Ability without any harm. Was this Black Territory even more dangerous than the Shadowless Astral Wind’s Divine Ability?

“You’ve been here for so many years, don’t you know what lies in the depths of the Black Territory?” Yang Kai asked with a frown.

Luan Bai Feng shook her head, “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to enter this place.”

“It seems that there is some great secret hidden in this Black Territory!” Yang Kai sighed.

However, no matter how dangerous the road ahead was, since he knew there was such a limit point, Yang Kai naturally wouldn’t step over the Thunder Pond so easily. It wouldn’t be too late to investigate the secrets of the Black Territory once his cultivation reached a higher level.

“You should recover first, I’ll look for a suitable mineral star. Perhaps there will be a place for you to work on later,” Yang Kai called out.

Luan Bai Feng didn’t stand on ceremony with him, immediately taking out the Open Heavevn Pill and swallowing it to make up for her loss.

Although Yang Kai had also suffered some losses, his foundation was far stronger than Luan Bai Feng’s, so the loss of his strength did not hinder him from continuing.

Travelling in all directions, he continued to search.

However, no matter how he searched, he couldn’t find a suitable mineral star. It was either too big or too small, not worth taking.

Two days later, Luan Bai Feng opened her eyes, her complexion rosy, obviously recovering.

“Any clues?” She glanced at Yang Kai and asked.

Although she had been meditating and recovering, it wasn’t like she didn’t know anything about the outside world. She had noticed Yang Kai’s movements over the past two days and faintly felt that he had some kind of plan.

“Come, use your Eye Technique to see what kind of formations this is,” Yang Kai pointed to a certain spot in the void in front of him. Under the Demon Eye of Annihilation, he could see traces of a formation, but because his attainments in the Dao of Arrays were not high, he was unable to determine what kind of formaation it was.

Hearing this, Luan Bai Feng immediately activated her eye technique and after examining it for a moment, she said, “It should be an Illusion Array!”

“Illusion Array!” Yang Kai frowned and brought her to another place, pointing to the formation in front of them, “What about this?”

Luan Bai Feng observed for a moment before saying, “This is a Trapping Array!”

Yang Kai shook his head and brought her to another place.
